Black and Blue

A friend of mine showed me this demo a couple days ago and I haven't been able to stop listening to it. Black and Blue are from Chicago with members of Expired Youth. Members of Expired Youth went on to form Harms Way and Thought Crusade. If you haven't heard any of those bands before, you need to check all these bands out. Anyways, Black and Blue play an aggressive style of hardcore. This sounds like early Cro-Mags and Warzone if they had a kid. The demo has 5 songs that run up to 8 minutes approximatively. It also has two sound clips from the movie Se7en which ties in with the whole feel of the songs. They are really pissed off and they want you to know that. A lot of bands are sending this message over and over that they want change with the same run of the mill lyrics. Black and Blue isn't that type of band. I get the feeling that whoever wrote these lyrics is fucking mad.

I believe they don't have tapes or anything avaliable for purchase, but you can download their demo from the link below. Don't sleep on this band, download the demo right now, then go mosh in your bedroom. Do it, you won't.
